Data
for all
Without transparency, there is no democracy.
Public safety monitoring in Brazil is weak, and this hinders the development of effective policies. Collecting data on armed violence, organizing it and making it available to society are essential tasks to protect life. For the government, having open data is a legal obligation. For us, at Fogo Cruzado, it is a commitment to democracy. We believe this is a way to contribute to a safer society.
DATA POLICY
Our database is open to any individual, but we take every precaution to respect the privacy of our users and avoid stigmatizing the victims of gun violence. We are collaborative, but we do not disclose personal data of our users or any information that may contribute to their identification. We respect and promote Brazilian General Law on Personal Data Protection (LGPD). It is an important instrument to protect the fundamental rights of citizens to freedom and privacy. You can find out more about how we do this by accessing our FAQ or in our privacy policy.
PERSONNEL MANAGEMENT POLICY
We have institutional spaces to evaluate and update our actions. We also promote team-exclusive training activities with external guests, and we have developed our own methodology of psychological support for data analysts, focused on protecting mental health. Fogo Cruzado cultivates gender and race diversity in our team. Our greatest concern is not about having a photograph showing apparent diversity. We want Fogo Cruzado to demonstrate our policies and values both in internal spaces and in our work, public exposure and publications. See our team’s Census.
REPORTS
The Fogo Cruzado Institute annually discloses reports provided by an independent external audit, as well as the sources and the nature of funds received each year. We also provide an activity report every year.
